activated again at the earliest after five
windscreen washing cycles.
The spray duration is limited.
Maintenance notes

removed regularly.
f For further information on vehicle care: Please
observe the chapter “CAR CARE INSTRUC-
TIONS” on Page 282.
The front windscreen washer nozzles are
heated when the ignition is on as a precaution
against freezing. However, this does not replace
the use of antifreeze.

Rear window wiper and washer system
f Press wiper stalk forwards as far as it will go.
The washer system sprays and wipes as long
as the stalk is pressed away from the steering
wheel. When the wiper stalk is released, a few
drying wipes are performed.
Maintenance note
f Periodically clean the wiper blades with win-
dow cleaner, especially after the vehicle has
been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may be as
a result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
screen. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
f Please observe the chapter “ADDING WASHER
FLUID” on Page 274.
Please contact your Porsche partner for further
information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
f Replace damaged wiper blades as soon as
possible.
